Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 block (about 200g) of feta cheese, crumbled
- 3-4 Roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 handful of green onions, diced
- Greek seasoning mix (oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, dried minced onion, dried minced garlic), to taste
- Olive oil (enough to generously coat the bottom of serving dish, approximately 2-3 tablespoons)
To Serve
- 1 crusty French baguette, sliced or tortilla chips
Equipment
- A large flat bowl or plate with high sides (serving dish)
Instructions
- Prepare the serving dish: Generously coat the bottom of a large flat bowl or platter with olive oil to create a flavorful base for the dip.
- Combine the ingredients: In a separate bowl, gently mix together the diced green onions, diced Roma tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and Greek seasoning blend until just combined.
- Assemble the dip: Pour the mixed ingredients evenly over the olive oil in the serving dish, distributing the mixture nicely.
- Rest the dip: Allow the dip to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Alternatively, you can cover and refrigerate it until serving time.
- Serve: Offer with sliced crusty French baguette or tortilla chips as dippers for a delightful and fresh Greek-inspired appetizer.
Notes
- The dip improves in flavor the longer it rests; letting it sit for an hour at room temperature enhances the taste.
- Use fresh Roma tomatoes for best texture and sweetness.
- Adjust the amount of Greek seasoning to your taste preference.
- For a spicier variation, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the mix.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but best consumed fresh.
